The firing was highlighted by a night exereisc with star shells, floodlights, and red and yellow tracers lighting up the sky, and the destriu tion of two sleeves the following day with the crews of the 5-inch and all the 4 ) ' s loudly claiming the honors for each. Kobe ' s visit was brief but spirited. The three days at the pier passed rpiickly and the ship was once again on its way to Sasebo where hopes ran high for warm, southern Japanese weather and income-tax-deducting jaunts to Korea. The minesweeping detachment was transferred to the ship from the L ' SS Cabildo {LSD-16; and with February about to piss away, a general exodus of U. S. Xaval vessels took place westward. ' ith everyone on l:oard mentally calculating their (Inancial gain as they lay off To Jang Po, Korea, the minesweeping boats were lowered into the w.iter and a minesweeping operation was held with the Catamount vectoring the boats and four AMS ' s. The ship returned to Sasebo and remained there until time to proceed to Yokosuka in preparation for the Iwo Jima I indiiig exercise, the largest and last of the cruise.
